Printing to printer - Linux - LPRINT alternative?

[desA]

Thus far:

'--------------------------------------------------
Open "capture1.txt" For Output As #1
...
BL$ = "............."
Print #1, "blah blah" using BL$ , var
...

Close #1
'--------------------------------------------------

Noticed that the text is only written to file after 'Close #1' command executes.

Plan:
Write a series of text files then use linux command 'cat' to string these together. then convert text-to-pdf.
